# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The "Occupy Wall Street" movement has gone global and there have even
been attempts to capitalize on this movement in various Chinese cities.
The "Occupy China" movement, however, has failed to gain traction on the
mainland.
We really didn't expect to see this movement transfer to mainland China;
however, given the Jasmine protests earlier this year, there were many
who were waiting to see whether or not this movement could be
rejuvenated by the global call to action. The global Occupy movement
lacks a nucleus or leadership. Despite a common theme of corporate
greed, there is very little direction on how to proceed and, under these
circumstances, we have seen no contagion effect in mainland China.
However, the Tiananmen protests in 1989 also started with very little
leadership or direction, and many Chinese activists that I've spoken
with feel that all that is needed is a spark to ignite a fire. After
all, there are plenty of protests localized daily in China, revolving
around issues such as land grabs, the environment and even corruption.
The Jasmine Movement provided a spark for organized action in China;
however, it quickly fizzled under an aggressive government response. The
Occupy China movement hasn't even gotten that far. While it is not
unforeseeable for a small movement to gain momentum in China, the
problem with both the Jasmine and the Occupy movements are that neither
were home-grown.
Although the Jasmine movement was spearheaded by Chinese, it was done so
from overseas. The Occupy movement had supporters and organizers within
China, but the concept was foreign-generated.
Moreover, the Chinese government and media has actually acknowledged the
Occupy movement in the U.S. and in the EU, taking the opportunity to
point out the failures of Wall Street and capitalism, while at the same
time, censoring any indication of an Occupy China movement. Also, many
Chinese do not have access to the social Internet sites that have helped
to ignite these movements in Western countries, namely Facebook. And
those that do, find this information quickly scrubbed off of similar
Chinese sites.
Ultimately, the Chinese, even those that want change, are wary of
foreign influences. Anything emanating from outside of the state will be
used by the state to highlight foreign interference. That said the
domestic wealth gap and its ensuing tensions could generate a homegrown
movement that would threaten Beijing much more so than any Occupy Wall
Street movement could muster.
